I may be wrong, but I think by using your suggested commands the Object o won't be accessible in the RenderRequest. If it were I'd happily use this method of sharing objects between the methods. The only way is to use ActionResponse::setRenderParameter(String). Then the renderparameter is simply added to the url used for redirect (/portal/default/?renderparam1=value). Render and ActionREquest are two different HTTPServletRequest and not sharing any objects. Thats at least what I remember from JSR 168 :-) JSF and struts are no real alternatives because the current system is based on webwork 1. I used the StrutsBridge as some kind of inspiration though.
